Bosh is staying, no other team in the league wants Bosh as their first option and Bosh thinks he is an MVP calibre player in the league he's said many times that he does not want to be anyones "sidekick", BC isn't as much of an idiot as people take him for, yeah he made some questionable signings, but don't you expect him to learn from his mistakes? He's tried to make something new work every season, when they brought in JO it was because they needed toughness and someone to back up Bosh, it was a fail but last seasons team had more problems because of the lack of talent at the 2/3 spot. Also this past season, he MATCHED Portlands offer to sign Turk, it was either the Raptors getting Turk OR Ariza, and I don't know about you guys but I'd rather have Turk over a selfish Ariza who loves to chuck up shots. Biggest move in the off season will be most likely Jose Calderon getting traded, I think he's the odd man out of the three big contracts we have (Turk/Bargs/Caldy), and knowing BC, he will manage to stir up a good deal with another team to get rid of Calderon, I mean the dude got 2 players for fucking RAFAEL ARAUJO LOL. What this team needs is either proven 2/3 guard (if they trade Turk), AND gritty players that go to work each night like Weems and Amir. I wouldn't be too disappointed as a Raps fan, yeah it would have been nice to see if we could do SOMETHING in the playoffs, but at the end of the day this team didn't deserve to get in, they just weren't a good team, as for this offseason, it's gunna be hectic seeing where everyone signs.
My Prediction to see who goes and who stays, I personally think Lebron, Dwade and Bosh stay, but I see other dudes like Boozer/Johnson type of players jumping ship to other teams, also I see a lot of trades happening, the Celtics are gunna have to do SOMETHING, and PHX I don't what's going on with Amare.

I was reading up on some Bosh Sign and Trade ideas, some of this shit just sounds scary to imagine:
Bosh to Lakers for either Bynum or Gasol (Sign and Trade)
Bosh to Houston (would be a good fit), probably a package deal including some wing players
Bosh to Portland (also a good fit), most likely for guys like fernandez, maybe even Oden/Aldrigde
This last one is pretty interesting, Bosh to OKC for some of their young talent. That would be a sick deal for OKC with Bosh and Durant playing together, highly unlikely to happen but scary to think about.
As far as people saying Chicago is a destination, I honestly don't see them having too much interest, they have the cap to get a dude like Boozer or Amare, and they wouldn't have to give anyone up, I don't think Chicago wants to give away Noah but when you look at Chicago's roster, its pretty much Noah and Rose that you want lol
